1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, prep the green beans and ginger. When the water boils, add the green beans and cook until bright green and barely tender, 2-4 minutes. Rinse with cold water and drain.

2. Heat the olive oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. When it's hot and shimmering, stir in the ginger and cook for 2 minutes. Add the green beans and stir to coat with the ginger and oil. Leave them alone to cook 2 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and take the pan off the heat.
